La Cense Grass-fed Beef Giveaway

It happened last week. The FedEx man rang the door bell and handed me a biodegradable styrofoam ice chest packed with two flank steaks and two pounds of ground beef — all from a 100% grass-fed and finished cow that used to call Montana home.

The box came courtesy of La Cense Beef, an exemplary ranching operation that’s been around since 1869. And do you know why they sent it to me?

(As if the title didn’t give it away…. no pun intended!)

They wanted me to enjoy a couple of grass-fed steaks on the house, and I did! And then they wanted me to enthusiastically spread some grass-fed beef love by hosting a Giveaway.

Thanks!

Hi, I am new to your blog and had a question about grass fed beef. I don’t eat beef now as I am concerned about the mad cow disease. I am worried about the possibility of contamination at the processing center. Since that is so centralized in the US, do you know where the grass fed organic meat is getting processed once its out of the farm? I am referring to the cutting up of the meat by processing. I don’t know if there is an industry term for it. I live in San Francisco and currently shop at Rainbow Groceries and Whole Foods. I don’t know where to go to find this information.

Okay – I was already following you, re-tweeted the giveaway, signed up for your rss feed, joined the party (username zigweegwee) and posted on my stumbleblog. http://zigweegwee.stumbleupon.com/ And to think it only took me half an hour on dial-up! 😉 My son will love you forever if I win, since I so rarely get red meat anymore.

Thanks for the comment! Hearing my 5 year old explain God to the 3 and 2 year olds is hilarious and eye-opening to me about how we portray God and if I’m doing a decent job or not. 🙂

Holy wow, I found this blog through the Menu Plan Mondays post on orgjunkie.com and you have blown me away, my fellow sustainable foodie. Will definitely be reading your blog on the regular–and I’m up for trying for some free beef.

I have tried four times to join at the Grass-Fed party site including three times in FireFox and once in Ephiphany. Every time I get an “invalid token” error when trying to submit the profile information. Could you ask them to check it out?

Thank you so much for your assistance. I’m now a member of Grass-Fed with the user name of GrowMap which is also my Twitter and FriendFeed user name.

I’m working on a post at GrowMap as I type this that will include links to both your site and theirs.

I’ll be sharing that post at FriendFeed, Twitter, and cliKball again and already shared your site and theirs yesterday. You can count on me to support your efforts as I’ve been planning another blog specifically about healthy living for some time now. Until then I use my existing accounts to spread the word.

I’ll subscribe too as soon as I send this comment. If I can ever be of assistance in getting the word out for you and other worthy causes and quality businesses please consider this your invitation to simply let me know what I can do. I’m online almost all the time.

Hi there, I retweeted your twitter message, I am @FreshGinger on Twitter and celticjig1 on GrassFedParty. I really have to thank you for this link! I didn’t know about it and this fall we co purchased a heifer and calf for breeding and eventually, grass fed beef.
